As his twin I think I have the only correct answer on this. He is the biggest jerk in the world. So. Yeah. The answer to that is yes.

I dropped my fangs and was suddenly overtaken with it. The raw energy. Raw anger. Bloodlust that only a purely hungry animal could attain. It was the Alpha in me. I was of course an Alpha in my own right. One of the firstborns of the Alpha who ruled his east coast pack. No one was allowed to hurt my pack.
No One. Not even my own twin. In a few brief  seconds I aimed to end his hurting of MY siblings.
A growl ripped from my throat. I could see out of the corner of my eye, Caroline try to usher the guests out joined by Rebekah.

My eyes when they changed activated an anger in Nik. We were two Alphas fighting for dominance. Two sides of the same coin. Nik returned my own growl, his fangs dropping and eyes a dark golden hue, almost amber in appearance.

I leapt at him my teeth tearing ferociously into his neck. It was the wolf in me who chose the spot of weakness. If he weren't a hybrid it would have scarred terribly.

Rebekah's screams made their way through my tunnel vision. "Don't hurt her, Nik!" I pulled away ripping his throat with me before spitting it savagely. I had enough of him and his daggering threats. No god in any of the 9 realms could stop me while I was filled such rage.
He stood unsteady for a moment falling to his knees as he choked on his blood. I stared in grim satisfaction. My rage still bubbled within me. Quickly, he recovered,  his hybrid eyes coming to life once more. He sped to me, throwing me into a wall my bones snapping beneath me. In moments he was on me, his claws digging through my skin, my hand cracking under Nik's foot. He laid into me, his claws still ripped me open as my body tried to heal.
"Damn it," I hissed as my werewolf venom began to drip in response. This was not good. It only foretold that I was losing control. Yet, as Nik's fangs connected with my arm, my anger grew as did my shift to wolf.

Magic still coursed through my veins. My gift of magic was weaker than before my death.  Still it coursed through me, and as I unintentionally shifted I could feel Nik being bound to me, beyond my control. He howled in pain and panic as the shift began. I didn't care. In my life I had often lost control. I used the opportunity for revenge. I was healing quickly, and knocked Nik back. He stumbled, my own claws raked down his chest even as I gave into the change.
He growled before his cry muffled into one of pain. I could hear Caroline cry out, but could barely see. My vision was shifting. Warm hands enveloped me even as I shifted. I could feel him trying desperately to take the magic from me. Kai. It was too late. I was nearly there.

The agony overtook me and for a moment I was gone in blackness before coming to: I had never fully shifted before. Klaus had, but we refrained from shifting at the same time.
At one point early on after our turn a prophecy had been told to us by a witch:
When two wolves meet of the same half
Ones coat turns raven
The other ivory
The darkness in one brings the world to its knees
Death follows the raven in its wicked ways
The ivory shall love and cherish
The world crumbling when it has lost all
Both two sides of a coin
The bad is without control or love
The good holds their heart closely, in a prison of their own

Nik and I knew it to be about us then. I made it a resolve to never turn fully never gaze at my coat. Nik turned once fully.
His eyes had been sad. He told me that he had the raven coat. He was wicked, but had always known it.
I had glanced at my paw. I was expecting it to be ivory. Oh gods, my sharp vision dimmed. I had been betrayed. Nik had lied. How could he?
I stared down at a my paw covered in a black the color of the darkest obsidian. Here I had been all along. The wicked. The sinister. The wolf that would bring the world to its knees.
How could I be the wolf without love? I loved Kai with a love so great all of the stars in the cosmos could not outnumber it. I loved my family fiercely. A whimper arose as I continued to stare at my paws.
Nik came over. The coat of his wolf form looked as soft as snow. Bright and shining.
Oh I didn't want to be the vile, the evil, the wicked wolf. He too let out a whine laying his head across my back.

Rebekah too came to my side her head bowed. "Oh dear sister, don't believe the witch. She knew and wished to torment you."
Katherine stared wide eyed. She had known. I had confided in her about it, "No."

Kai and Caroline were lost unknowing. Feeling somber I shook Nik and Rebekah off of me and stood. Well I stood as much as a wolf could. I crept past my now shredded dress and sped up the stairs. Kai was close behind me.
I was exhausted. The strain too much. I had just been raised from the dead and now I learned that I was wicked. I should've fought to remain on the Otherside. Now the world was fated to fall because of me.
I collapsed in a heap on my bed letting Hypnos and Morpheus know I was ready for their realm.

When I awoke I was bare if not for my favorite grey fuzzy blanket covering me. I had fallen asleep as a wolf on top of my covers. I had awoken as a human unclothed, yet covered. Despite the news I was grateful. Kai was beside me his fingers softly running through my hair. His eyes betrayed nerves though everything else was normal. I smiled softly blinking the sleep from my eyes, "Were you watching me as I slept?"

His eyes found mine. His gaze was soft. His hands now caressed my cheek. He smiled and it was lopsided, "I guess I do like seeing you sleep. It's reassuring after all that time."
A soft laugh sounded, "Hmm, sounds creepy, my love." Still he smiled his eyes soft as his finger traced my lips, "I guess what people think is creepy, psychopaths think is nice."

Evil. That's all the little voice in my head had to say for me to scramble back. "Oh gods, Kai. Do you think I'm really evil?" He brought himself on the bed. I was pushed in against the headboard. My breathing was frantic, but his eyes were serious as he gripped my face.
"I think you can be angry. Vicious. A fighter. Absolutely crazy like woah she's kinda hot crazy. I don't think you are evil. I couldn't. You are so perfect I could never see you as evil. You're the love of my life."

My breathing stopped. Was he being serious? I searched his eyes for a hint he was joking. Nothing. Finally I let out a small gasp, "Truly? You believe I am the love of your life?"
His smile was small, hesitant. For the first time I thought of him, the great syphoner, the head of the Gemini, as vulnerable.
"Of course I believe that. I knew it from the moment I was parted from you. When I watched the life slip from behind your eyes. I knew if you remained dead. I'd die. My heart hurt without you. I mean if you followed me on Twitter you'd know this already. Wouldn't need to ask. You'd know how strongly I feel pulled to you." I laughed bringing him close to me my lips just barely caressing his. As they did I could feel the air around us change. I smiled into our kiss, my words meant to caress him just as my hands worked their way behind his head, flitting through his hair. "I felt that pull. From the moment I met you, you were infuriatingly enchanting. Also, I do not believe at all that you post about me on Twitter."

His lips found mine. They were harsh now. Unrelenting as if he wished to take whatever I could give. I would give anything. My own arms roamed around him. It felt literally as though sparks were flying wherever his hands traced.
They started innocently around my face, but alongside his lips they worked their way down. Over my collarbone just barely nipping farther. I wanted to reach out, touch him. As I did with a hungry look in his eye he syphoned me. I moaned out as I was kept still.
He kissed me possessively biting at my lip. "Mine. Only mine." Everything seemed too much.
He found his way down. Never ceasing to look at me. His own lips were thoroughly kissed as I laid completely vulnerable for the first time in a longtime.
When we fit together, it felt as though I had been missing part of me for far too long. He bit at my ear softly.

Then, I could hear it my door opening. I was mortified, but couldn't flash away. Hands bound from Kai's spell. With a flourish of his hand he slammed the door. "What did you-?" His lips found mine again. "I don't want anyone to interrupt this moment with you."
My eyes fluttered closed allowing myself to feel him fully. He brought me to the brink over and over at various times syphoning from me taking my breath with him.

Later that night after we were done, I was still slick with him between my thighs. I turned towards him tracing the bones of his cheek. Never had one looked so angelic as he did. I kissed him softly waking him. He smiled sleepily opening his eyes to look at me. "Mmm a third round?" He whispered pulling my mouth to his.
